IMPROVEMENT IN SAWING-MACHINES.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettere Ptent'andmakng part of the same.

To all whom it may conce/rn Be it known that I, P'IEnsoN JAcoBus, of Romulus, in. the county of Seneca and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gombined Sewing-Machine and Apple-Grinder; Vand I do `hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description lthereof, which will enable others skilled inthe art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing forming part of this speci'cation.

'lhe object of this invention is to combine in one compact and portable' machine two valuable and indispensable machines, whereby much expense in construction is saved, While each machine is perfect in itself, thc two being so constructed and arranged that 'they may be used separately or both at the same time; and

1t consists in a circular sawing-machine and an apple-grinder, arrangedV and operating as' hereinafter more fullyvdescribed. v

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 represents a-vertical section of the combined machine taken on the line :v x of g. 2.

.Figure 2 is a vertical section of fig. 1 taken on the line y y.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the frame.

B is the shaft or mandrel.

O is a y-wheel on the shaft.

D is the apple-grinding cylinder, of any desired Y length and diameter, made in two parts, and secured tothe shaft by means of the bolt E, which passes through the cylinder(or two Darts) and through the shaft, as 4seen in fig. 2.

F represents the hopper, in'whic'h the apples to be ground are placed.

The hopper is supported on the frame A, over the through the space E in contact with the cylinderteeth, and are ground between the cylinder and the end I of the hopper.

The pomace is delivered 'into a proper receptacle below.

The cylinder is 'provided with teeth, d', as seen in the drawing.

vlhe shaft is revolved by means of gearing and a. crank, K, or pulley on the shaft of the driving gearwheel L, or on the main shaft.

The machine may be propelled by hand or any other suitable motive-power. v

M is the carriage 'or apron for the circular-saw N.

This carriage has a center-pin, 0, with a central slit for the saw in it, which is a shield for the saw, and prevents it from doing harm when revolving and not in use, as when grinding apples, or at other times.

Instead of the gearing, the shafts may be driven by means of a pulley on its end, when steam, horse, or water-power is employed. Y

By'this arrangement and combination the two machines are constructed at much less expense than they could be separately, while the space occupied is only that of an ordinary sawing or grinding-machine.

The farmer'is thus enabled to saw his wood and -grind his apples, either by hand lor otherwise, without purchasing or having on hand two machines.

' Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The circular-sawN and apple-mill D F, combined, as described, with the same rotating-shaft B, as and for the purpose specilie PIERSON J AGOBUS. Witnesses:
